The European Commission’s Directorate-General for Enterprise (DG ENTR) is close to deciding its final recommendations for update of the EU Fertilisers Regulation. Their latest proposal for revising this regulation includes:

putting End of Waste criteria for composts and digestates derived from source separated biodegradable wastes into an annex,

the setting of minimum criteria relating to agronomic value as well as safety related criteria, and

Their proposals are very important to UK producers and users of composts and digestates made from biodegradable wastes because they will supersede our PAS 100, PAS 110, Compost Quality Protocol and Digestate Quality Protocol. No EU Member State will be allowed to retain national End of Waste criteria which have the same scope as those set in the revised EU Fertilisers Regulation.

(Note: since emailing members on 14/11/2014 we have corrected the document that downloads from this webpage. DG ENVT's proposed minimum organic carbon requirement is 2 % in fresh matter, rather than 5 % in fresh matter.)
